Let me be clear for anyone else reading this thread.  Impulse is alive and well for games, all this is pertaining to desktop apps.

I understand that, I'm just keeping it around for subscription expiration dates until the 'new' desktop apps program shows up.

Updated to what.. the latest production release? Most of us ( I believe ) don't use those. We use the latest beta release.

How cumbersome. It doesn't tell us when it was updated or anything. So now we basically just have to arbitrarily download a bunch of separate installers and cross our fingers that it's actually an update?

You don't have to do anything.  You can continue to use what you have. 

Until teh next thing comes out, Island Dog will post when there are updates released. 

It's not perfect, but it's not the end either.

"Use what I have" is Impulse which has apparently been abandoned for ODNT users. Really should have had something else in place for us. Seems pretty unprofessional to me. Gaming seems to be much more important to Stardock now.

Impulse got so much crap from the whiny gamers and we always defended it, and now we've been hung out to dry. Disappointing.

You are not being "hung out to dry" Steph.  You have access to what is released via teh store link.  You'll be alerted to new releases by Island Dog.

The system is temporary.  It will get better . . again.

That's true, I doubt 40-50 "regulars" on the forum represent approx. 4.5 million registered users of which, I assume, a majority are also customers of some type Stardock product but are they "in the loop" like regular WC visitors? Some companies I've purchased software from email me with each and every change, update, etc. no matter how small but the only thing I receive from SD is "sale" notifications or information about buying additional products. Is anyone else kept up to speed on what's going on other than by visiting the site and should that possibly be a priority for good customer service...for ALL?!?!?

Back on topic....glad I can dump Impulse!

Baby steps, right?  

Users that follow teh site will be informed of updates through the site.  Those that don't, won't for the moment.  But . . they have a working app, right?  All is well.

If there is some update that is critical, SD has the means to send out a mass mail and will.

Again, not the last iteration of the system we want, but a good interim system.

I didn't say that . . I said it's an option SD has.  Just hold tight while things get settled.
